Production

Director S. K. Bhagavan had revealed that the movie was initially planned with Rajkumar. However, the idea was dropped because the movie was heroine-oriented and the protagonist seduces the girl before marriage. However, Parvathamma Rajkumar, who loved the story offered to co-produce it with an upcoming actor in the lead role.[2]

Soundtrack

The music was composed by Rajan-Nagendra, with lyrics by Chi. Udaya Shankar.[3] All the 4 songs composed for the film were received extremely well and considered as evergreen songs. The song Kanasalu Neene Manasalu Neene went on to be used in the 1982 Telugu movie Nalugu Stambhalata as Chinukula Rali and 1992 Hindi movie Deewana as Aisi Deewangi.[4] The song Baanallu Neene was used in the 1977 Telugu movie Panthulamma as Sirimalle Neeve.
